QSHINE 2016 Call for Papers

Website: http://qshine.org/

Scope
---------

Computer networking has been embracing increased heterogeneity since its inception, in terms of the range of the applications it has to support, the various communication technologies it can run on, and the hierarchical, hybrid and heterogeneous techniques it has to rely on to meet the challenges from both the diverse application requirements and communication technologies.
The only conference focusing on heterogeneous networking, QShine has been established as the primary venue for researchers and practitioners to disseminate exchange and discuss all recent advances related to heterogeneous networking, particularly for quality, experience, reliability, security and robustness.
Original submissions, not under any concurrent reviews, are solicited in all areas related to heterogeneous wired, wireless and hybrid networks varying from sensor, vehicle, cellular, ad hoc, enterprise, datacentre, to service-provider and overlay networks, ranging from in/on-body, personal/local/metropolitan/wide-area, to intra/inter-planetary scales.

Highlights
-------------

The event is endorsed by the European Alliance for Innovation, a leading community-based organisation devoted to the advancement of innovation in the field of ICT.
All accepted papers will be published by Springer and made available through SpringerLink Digital Library, one of the world's largest scientific libraries.
Proceedings are submitted for inclusion to the leading indexing services: DBLP, Google Scholar, Thomson Scientific ISI Proceedings, EI Elsevier Engineering Index, CrossRef, Scopus, as well as ICST's own EU Digital Library (EUDL).
The authors of the best papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their work through one of the following EAI endorsed publications:
EAI Endorsed Transactions on Mobile Communications and Applications
EAI Endorsed Transactions on Industrial Networks and Intelligent Systems
Authors whose selected papers have been accepted and presented at the Qshine 2016 are invited to submit an extended and revised version of their papers to a MONET Special Issue. Please note, that the papers must have at least 30% new material compared to the conference paper.


Conference Topics
----------------------
Topics of interest include, but not limited to, the following:

- Quality-of-Service (QoS) provisioning: architectures, protocols, mechanisms.
- Quality of Experience (QoE): user-perceived quality, cost-sensitive experience.
- Reliability and Scalability: performance, adaptation, cognition, extensibility.
- Security and Privacy: system/network security, user privacy/accountability.
- Robustness: fault/disruption/disaster-tolerance, resilience, survivability.
- Cross-Layer Design, Optimization and Implementation: spectrum/energy efficiency.
- Social and Economic Perspectives: incentive, pricing, billing, governance.
- New Applications and Communication Technologies: cloud, smart grid, SDN.

Important dates
